Fred Walther, foreman Of th3 Eliel
Brewing Co.'S works, at La Sale, was ar
rested on Thursday morning last, by L. 5.
Marshals Duecher and UarsOns, and taken
to Chicago, on charge of defraudng the
government by using beer stamps twice.
Fred had friend, In whom he had re
posed great large slice Of his confidence,
and as his friend was in hard row of
stumps, he went security for his board
and had to pay It, He brooded over the
loss of the loss of the cash with a great,
wide brood that seemed to tear his very
heart strings, and many cold, chill night
did he lie awake to concoct scheme Of
getting even. He took the beer wagon
driver into his confidence, and with his aid
got eight cancelled IS cent keg stamps,
and taking eight kegs of beer, sold them
to hotel keeper for the customary $40.
This made him about even, but his
evenness has taken another tack. Uncle
Sam now proposes to get even and then
the Brewing Co. will do likewise.

rnrtial TO seal skins.

Mr.. and Mrs s. Il. King and Mr., and
Mrs. W. w. Nash were favored with visit
from q pair of cute and daring rascals on
Saturday morning last, who helped them
selves 70 cake, cold meat, beer, and all the
cloaks, gloves and coats they could lay their
hands on.
Entrance was effected through the base
ment door. which was unlocked, and
thence into the kitchen. Upon entering
the kitchen, they passed Into stair ROOM
between II and the dining room, and the
door being locked on the inside, cut the
casing away with some dull instrument
and slid the bolt backe Mr. Kings over
coat was lying on chair in the dining
room, and was thoughIfully appropriated
The men, being unsuccessful In obtaining
egress Into the hall, went back Into the
basement and brought up three bottles OF
beer, with which they washed down q
hearty meal of cold meat and choice Christ
mas cake. They then went out OF the
house and entered the front portion through
the library window, the latch of which
happened not be fastened.
In the meantime, the girl, who sleeps
over the kitchen, was awakened by the
running up and down the basement stairs,
and thinking the hired man was kindling
fires, came down 70 the kitchen to see what
hour II was. She noticed the door leading
to tie kitchen was propped open, but
thought nothing of II, and looking across
to the library, saw a hand reaching up with
a match to light a lamp, but thinking 1t
was Mrs. King, retired again, as 1t was
only $3.50 a. m.
After entering the library, the burglars
unlocked the door of 1t and the sitting
room, leading into the hall. They appro-
priated new seal cloak belonging tn Mrs.
Nash, which hung in the hall, and entering
a closet in the sitting room, took Mrs.
Kings seal cloak, a seal cap, pair of seal
gloves, and Mr.. Kings hat They also
took fine field glass, presumably to detect
persuers.
Mrs. King was awakened by the noise
made, and walked out into the hall, but
heard nothing. She looked at the time,
and saw that it was Ais a. m. She awak-
ened Mr.. King, and they were awake for
three quarters of IN hour, but heard moth
ing more, 1t is, therefore, probable that
she heard only the noise of their departure
as they stepped out of the library winiow,
They we're made cognizant of their loss
by the hired man. who built the fires at >
o'clock Mr.. King offers $500 for the
arrest and conviction Of the wretches and !
the return OF the property, or $500 Tor the
return of the property only, In good order.

Unions of gentlemen OF 70 and ladies Of
20 are, thanks to This age of enlightment,
remarkably infrequent. 1t Is something
akin to marrying ones grandfathers bosom
friend, but a poor and pretty girl from
Princeton has done it, and without pang.
John Webb,r, an ex-farmer Of Dlmmick,
but now of Hall township, Livingston Co.,
aged seventy and worth 100000, became
infatuated with pretty face, and mar.
ried 1t in regal pomp and splendor. After
the ceremony that made her Mrs. Webber
until death or court of record parted them
had been performed. she grded up her
hustle and wendell her way swiftly to the
left, and since that time has absolutely an |
ungratefully refused to live with him and
share his palatial mansion.
To say the muddle Drained Weber IS
hearted would be travestry on
human emotion. II was at the time when
his new found happiness cast a halo DER
moor, fen and vale, and the white haired
husband of an hour rode home through
the winter twilight, with naught to dis
tract the movement OF his thoughts but the
snort of the restless swine, and the boom
of the waiting bittern.

claimed:
''Oh. mother, know it's all true what the

The Sting Of the Bee.

Rev. William F. Clark, Guelph, Can
ada, voluminous writer on the honey
bee, in an article in the American Be
Journal, on the uses of the singing ap-
paratus OF this insect, claims that its
most important function is not singing.
lie says: my observations and refec-
tions have convinced me that the most
important office OF the bee sting is that
which is performed in doing the artistic
cell work, Gaping the comb, and infus-
ing the formic acid by means of which
honey receives its keeping qualities.
The sting is really skillfully contrived
little trowei with which the bee finishes
off and caps the cells when they are
filled brimful Of honey.
This explains why honey extracted be-
fore it is capped over does not keep well.
The forlnic acid has not been injected
into it. This is done in the very act Of
putting the last touches on the cell work.
As the little plant trowel is worked to
and fro with such dexterity, the darts,
of which there are two, pierce the plas-
tic cell surf ce and leave in the nectar
beneath it tiny drops Of the fluid which
makes it keep well. This is the art pre-
sentative of honey. A most wonderful
provision of nature, truly Herein we
see that sting and poison bag, with which
so many of us would like to dispense,
are essential to the storing of our coveted
product, and without them the beautiful
honey comb of commerce would be non
est. Christian at Work.

A Ride DOWN n Plnr,e

A G. Mason left the mills at 10
O'Clock yesterday on raft in The fume
for a ride to Chico. lie expected to
make the trip in three and half hours,
but met with several thrilling mishaps
that delayed him until after dark and
efTectually cured him for raft ride to
Chico. The ride for the first fifteen
miles was novel and grand-scenery as
magnificent as any in the Sierra Nevada.
But when the raft struck the deep canons
and mountain gOrges, with the hume
stretched along looking like a silvery
thread from the bottom, the ride began
to take on dangers, for the lumber that
had been shipped in the morning was
here met with, and the real trouble
commenced. In one of the deep cuts the
Y-box ran onto board, Impending the
raft and throwing Bert high into the
air. In falling he grasped small board
nailed to the fume and hung suspended
fifty feet from the bottom OF the canyon.
Bert, having but one arm, found himself
in a dangerous position, and, too add to
this horror, the board he was hanging
to began TO break. About twenty feet
OOiO" ann was sinai piatAOIM DeLNecu
the joists, so, just as the board gave
way, Bert swung out, let go his hold,
and dropped. He struck the platform,
but the rebound threw him thirty feet
to the bottom of the canyon, striking on
his shoulder and the side of his face.
He was stunned for moment, but when
he came to, he hurried down the flume
and caught the raft. When twelve miles
from Chico he was again thrown. but
this time he struck in the flume, with a
narrow escape from drowning. His nat
was lost and he was wet through. As
soon as he got ont Bert concluded that he
did not want any more raft-riding, and
walked the remaining twele miles to
town, arriving at 1880 o'clock.-Chioc
